Just wondering if u guys in the US have been contacted for this re-call, in Canada we started getting calls from our dealer to come in for re-programming of ECU for torque limiter. I dropped my 335d this morning fro this re-call and ad blue top up.

Anyone had it done yet??

I asked for details and was told that this re-programming will increase throttle response/over all torque band thru the rpm's but will not let engine red line or go to very high rpm's etc.

Anxious to pick up and drive it after the re-program, lets hope it makes it better and not mess it up.

Do these cars go to redline when at WOT in just regular D mode? I thought they did but recently was driving down a back road and went to pass someone then noticed during that what seemed like my tach not going near as high as I remembered. I did not pay close enough attention to where it shifted but at the time it struck me as odd.

I don't think they'd redline in D mode, DS or manual mode yes so in my understanding this re-programming is to re-arrange the torque band and ensure there's no torque close to or around redline or 5k plus rpms. I should have more information tomorrow.

Just went to my dealer (MA,US) and there is software campaign 0013130200 - B13 04 12, E70 E90 M57 Programing. My dealer was ok for me not getting it this time. They couldn't tell me what is fixing or changing.

I mentioned this on the other forum, but I'll repeat it here for those that don't slum (LOL): that particular code was already known, and doesn't appear to be related to the 'torque recall'. OTOH, since we haven't seen any BMW info on the torque recall, your dealer's info might very well be related. We need to get a look at the paperwork for the torque recall to connect the dots.

Sorry for delayed response. The car was reflashed the same day. I will try to scan the work order or else post the info from it later today. It might just be me but since the re-flash, the car is smoother, more throttle response and feels a bit more alive/torqy but again not that much different than before. I told the service manager and had him agree that if I felt it stole the torque or messed up the way it felt we'll have to roll back the change/update and he agreed, I have no complaints to report. Also last tank has given at least 50 more kilometers/approx 30 miles.
